Sesks in discussions for 2025 drive

The 25-year-old drove a factory Puma on three occasions this year and impressed with a home run which came within a stage of landing him a maiden podium at the sport’s highest level. Either side of that stellar effort in the Baltics, Sesks competed in Poland and Chile without the benefit of the hybrid electric boost.

M-Sport team principal Richard Millener has been consistently impressed with Sesks and is keen to further the relationship. Sesks attended last month’s Central European Rally to further those discussions. 

“He came to talk about the situation,” said Millener. “I think you know my feelings, the team’s feelings – we would very much like to work with Mārtiņš into the future and he’s on a shortlist of drivers we’re talking to. 

“What he achieved with us this season was very, very impressive and we remain aware of that. We need to talk about what he can do, I think people are understanding of the fact that we need budget to make things happen. There’s desire to make it work, right now we’re talking and let’s see what we can do.”
